Grew 4.5 times in the difficult pandemic year

Referring to his goals for the future, Emre Abat said, “As an initiative, we are focusing on being the 'place of gift' in this journey that we have embarked on in the online photo printing category. Thanks to the concept gift boxes we added to our product range in the last quarter of 2020, we fully meet the “customizable, fast and high quality gift” demands of the users. In addition to photo printing products, we also create our sub-brands, so.craft, Nature & Love, Cielo and Grind Co. brands, we managed to be the center of attention in the leather product, tea and coffee category. Despite the pandemic, we focused on growing our team by increasing our employment. We quadrupled the capacity of our operations center and reached more than 1.2 million users, ending this challenging year with 4.5 times growth. We continue our overseas sales, which we started 2 years ago, at full speed. We ship to more than 85 countries, especially America, England, Italy, Germany, France and Spain. We are getting ready to dominate the personalized gift market with a young and dynamic team of 80 people."
